The flash flood hit Eastgate village on 15 June. My home was one of 32 damaged, and 7 families are still in temporary shelter at the community hall.
The first few days we shared what little we had. Now the cleanup has started, but we've no money for materials and winter or the rainy season is coming.
Schools in the area have been closed, and the clinic lost its cold storage for vaccines. We're a small community of working families who have never asked for help before.
We have formed a volunteer committee, and I'm the treasurer, so I'll post receipts for everything we buy.
Funds go to building materials, water purification supplies, bedding, and food for families still in shelters.
Where the $4,150 goes:
• Bedding, blankets and mattresses: $1,150
• Food parcels for displaced families: $1,250
• Tools and labor for repairs: $1,750
Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.

Wishing you peace, Eli. Projects like this are what make a place worth living in. After 25 years in farming I know how hard it's to ask for anything

Take care. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Greetings from Iztapalapa.
So sorry you're going through this. More neighborhoods should do this. I went through something like this 7 years ago and strangers helped me out. Greetings from Quezon City
